There's a lot of debate on whether CO2 bike pumps are any good or not. Some cyclists say that they're a life-saving piece of equipment that can get you back on the road in a matter of minutes, while others claim that they're unreliable and can actually do more harm than good. So, what's the verdict? Are CO2 bike pumps any good? Overall, CO2 bike pumps are a great tool to have in your cycling arsenal. They're lightweight, easy to use, and can inflate your tires in a matter of seconds. However
You can refill CO2 cartridges, but it's not as easy as refilling a regular air tank. You'll need a CO2 tank and a regulator that can handle the high pressure of CO2. You'll also need to be careful not to overfill the cartridge, as this can cause it to burst.
Yes, you can reuse CO2 cartridges cycling. There are a few ways to do this, but the most common is to use a CO2 cartridge adapter. This will allow you to screw the cartridge into the adapter, and then screw the adapter into your bike's tire valve.
CO2 cartridges do expire, but the expiration date is usually around 10 years from the date of manufacture.

The best value is offered by this, which is identical to all threaded CO2 marketed for bicycle inflators. My authentic innovations air chuck elite inflator works perfectly. I discover that using simply these instead of a tiny pump actually costs less. I haven't yet purchased a tiny pump that was worthwhile rather than spending extra on cartridges. Additionally, these are much more convenient. On rides, I bring two.

For mending a flat on the road, I keep these in the saddle bag of my road bike. The 16g is sufficient to fill the tube to the maximum tyre pressure for my 700x25 tyres, which is approximately 120 psi. They are the perfect size for my saddle bag. If you're purchasing these to mend a flat on a bike, be sure that your CO2 inflator is threaded similarly to how these cartridges are. This tool also rescued the day at a recent 100-mile road race by quickly fixing a flat.

On a dune/beach trail in Virginia/North Carolina, I was about 9 miles from the trailhead when I lost around 75% of my pressure while negotiating a very prickly wooded area. I was using a tubeless 29 with a lower PSI. I believe that I either caught a thorn or just barely twisted the tyre enough to temporarily shift the bead and lose pressure. I had just that morning packed the Pro Bike inflator kit and these CO2 cartridges in my pack. In just 45 seconds, I was up to pressure, and I safely returned to the truck. a true lifesaver. Strangely, I never discovered any debris in the tyre or a bead defect.

One week ago, as I prepared to leave for a cycling training camp (using road bikes), I realized that I would need a CO2 inflator to fast patch a flat on the road since all I had at home was a floor pump for pumping up tubes. I decided to give this product a try after doing some research, and I have to say that I'm glad I did. I actually had three flats during this camp (hard roads, 400 miles, and some bad luck), but fortunately this dependable little inflator is now my closest buddy; if you don't have one, I really recommend that you consider getting one. Here is a list of the pros and cons.It is more compact and lightweight than a hand pump, making it simple to carry around in your back pocket or saddle bag. Really simple to use while driving; just turn the valve 45 degrees counterclockwise before turning it back the other way to close the tank. The majority of inflators I saw were clunky and unsightly, but this one is just incredibly compact and polished, which I appreciate.- It works well for inflating; at home, a 16g CO2 canister immediately filled my 25mm tubes to a pressure of about 95 psi.Cons: The foam insulation is a little thin, so remember that your hands will still get cold without gloves. I understand why the small lever to start inflating is a little tight; I wouldn't want to unintentionally open the valve.Overall, I've been pleased with this small CO2 inflator; the one improvement I'd want to see is thicker canister insulation. It's a fantastic device, and I had a terrific experience using it while traveling. Potential buyers should read the directions (which are quite informative, albeit a bit minimalistic), put something between their hand and the CO2 canister, and deflate and inflate their tubes with air when they get home instead of using CO2, which gets you home but leaks much more quickly than air. This advice applies to all pumps. Great pump; it definitely came in handy while I was traveling last week. Also, I don't think it will come with a CO2 canister. In the description, it is mentioned).Disclaimer: Please click the button below this review if you found it useful (It really helps me). This product was purchased at a reduced price in exchange for an unbiased evaluation, which is exactly what I have provided. This air compressor is really cool.

On my carbon fiber bike, I used this setup in conjunction with the CO2 inflator from Portland Design Works to replace a small frame pump. With the small frame pump, I tried to inflate my presta valve tires, but it took a lot of pumps to reach 100 pounds. These take only a few seconds to inflate to 100 lbs. I've decided to remove the frame pump, which should improve aerodynamics and reduce weight a little, and store the inflator and a few spare cartridges in my under-seat bag just in case. Although I have only had one flat in 1500 miles of biking and it was near to home, I like to be ready just in case.

When we previously used a different cartridge, there wasn't much of an odor and it wasn't difficult to use. However, the smell from these cartridges can be rather overpowering. Now, I mentioned all of that to explain that we are employing these quite atypically. To spray when our dog barks, we use these in a portable, hand-held tire pump. Dog trainers utilize it as an excellent strategy to help stop pointless barking. Most people have encountered dogs who would continuously bark at everything and everything. For the majority of dogs, spraying this into the air causes the dogs to startle and effectively reduces their excessive barking. In light of all of this, the fragrance is rather potent and frequently causes coughing fits when this is sprayed inside a building. Therefore, if you want to purchase this to use as a training tool, buyer beware - it stinks! However, if you purchase it for its stated use, the product should spray all of that foul-smelling material into the tire rather than into the air, provided it is connected to the tire properly.

SMALL & COMPACT – Fits conveniently in a saddle bag, jersey pocket or backpack. Weighing only 2 ounces / 58 grams each, you will barely notice you’re carrying one as you ride. One important thing to remember with a CO2 inflator is that it’s only a get-home remedy for a puncture. As CO2 gas dissipates through an inner tube over time, you need to re-inflate your tire with air from a pump when you’re back home. As such if you’re touring or bike packing, one of our mini bike pumps is a great choice.

Let's be honest: a C02 cartridge is a common item. One is available in several internet sites and bicycle shops throughout your area. The attention the vendor gives to the customer is the reason I'd advise you to buy from Pro Bike Tool. The seller kept me updated on the order's status throughout the transaction and delivery. After I bought the item, the vendor also sent me an email asking if I had any concerns about how to use it and cautioning me to handle it carefully while it was releasing gas, among other things. The vendor also cautioned me that little CO2 molecules will leech from rubber tubes overnight, so it's a good idea to replace the gas in the tire with ambient air once I've inflated it and gone home. I can guarantee that no vendor has ever paid such close attention to detail, and I value their unwavering commitment to satisfying and delivering. I'm hopeful Pro Bike Tool will continue to grow its selection of top-notch cycling gear so I can buy as much of it as I need to keep riding my bike on the roads and trails.

Although I haven't tested the inflator on the road yet as I just got it, I did so on my wheels at home to ensure that it functions properly and that I won't run into any unexpected issues. I've only ever used the Proflate Elite unit, but I can say without a doubt that the BriskMore is a significantly higher caliber of apparatus.Here are some things I noticed.1. firmly fastens to the presta valve, preventing CO2 loss2. very easy to understand and use3. Control of smooth valves4. The tool is removed without any air loss.5. Extra valve replacement seals (nice touch)6. has a sleeve to protect the hands while use (nice touch)7. occupies a very minimal amount of room in my seat bag (I use a small bag)8. works with 20g cartridges, despite the fact that the specifications only mention 12 and 16g. I'm unable to comment on other C02 cartridges.9. 22g of light weightIf asked, I would suggest this wonderful inflator to my other bikers. The spare seals and sleeve are a lovely touch that most businesses would not provide and would charge extra for. To replace the Proflate Elite I now have in my mountain bike seat bag, I'm intending to get a second BriskMore.

I adore this gadget! It is simple to use, attractive, lightweight, and incredibly compact when compared to inflators that completely cover the cartridge. Put the inflator on the valve, tighten the screw, and squeeze after placing the lid on the cartridge and the inflator. There are no controls to turn on or twist to inflate. To inflate, simply press.Early in 2012, I made a pit stop to assist a rider whose tire had fallen flat. She claimed to have one and didn't need my inflator (also by Genuine Innovations). It belonged to a kind with a valve switch. She guessed incorrectly about the correct switch position, however, and all of the CO2 gas escaped into the atmosphere prior to attaching the cartridge. She used my Air Chuck Elite on her second cartridge, and after that she was a complete convert!—Leave it on the valve for six seconds to completely empty the cartridge's contents. Don't be afraid to add it.—Genuine Innovations' claims about inflation pressures seem to be wildly inflated. Depending on how much tube volume the rim design allows, a 16g cartridge could push a 700x23 tire up to 90 psi in warm weather. possibly just 75–80 psi with cold temperatures. That might be enough for the front wheel and to stop pinch flats on the rear wheel, depending on the weight of the rider. It's best to additionally have a pump when it's below freezing outside. Notably, SRAM only claims an inflation result of 100 psi for 700x23 tires for its (bigger) 20g cartridges, which is, in my opinion, more accurate.—Keep your hand away from the "black dot" at the back of the chuck head during inflating. If you exert any power on this dot, you'll be fighting against yourself and exerting pressure on the chuck head and cartridge port at the same time (only the latter should be pushed). To put it another way, only put your hand on the cartridge and the conical part of the chuck head.UPDATE: —For road cyclists, I advise packing the 20g cartridges offered by SRAM and Genuine Innovations for air temps below 45°F. They are costly. In the fall and again in the spring, I switch the 16g and 20g cartridges. One road biker I know always carries the 20g size.—Although I don't often get flats, I've discovered that for every time I use this gadget on my own bike, I tend to use it twice to help other riders with their flats. Such is the weight of a CO2 inflation device.
Bike tires are made of rubber, which is a natural product. As such, it is subject to deterioration over time due to exposure to the elements. This process is accelerated by the presence of oxygen and moisture, which can cause the rubber to degrade and allow CO2 to leak out. While this is not a major concern for occasional riders, those who ride frequently or competitively should check their tires regularly for signs of wear and tear.
How long does CO2 last in a bike tire? CO2 cartridges are a popular way to inflate bicycle tires because they are small, portable, and easy to use. One cartridge can usually inflate two tires. But how long does a CO2 cartridge last? Most CO2 cartridges will last for two or three tire inflations. So, if you use one cartridge to inflate two tires, you will probably have some CO2 left over. And if you use one cartridge to inflate three tires, you will probably need to top off the tires with a
One 16-gram CO2 cartridge will fill two mountain bike tires or one road bike tire.
It takes approximately four CO2 cartridges to fill a car tire.
A standard CO2 cartridge has around 16-20 grams of CO2, which translates to about 60-70 PSI. This is enough pressure to inflate a tire or operate a small air gun.
